That is unlikely to be fixable without Apple's intervention. This Apple iPad service site:


iPad Repair and Service - Apple Support


Has this as the estimated repair cost:



That will get you an Apple-refurbished iPad of identical specs as yours.


If you do not have AppleCare extended protection, you may be better off getting a newer model because the iPad 8 will likely get only one more iPadOS update. It is listed as the oldest iPad that will run the upcoming iPadOS 26:



The iPad 7 will not run 26. It follows that the established pattern of each new iPadOS version dropping one older model a year and will probably bite the iPad 8 in 2026 if the trend continues.
